CREDIT UNIONS ....

A credit union is a cooperative not-for-profit financial institution organized under the supervision of the National Credit Union Administration. Credit unions traditionally have been organized by a group of people having a common bond as defined in its charter. The goal is to combine their funds to work for the mutual benefit of all members. The two significant goals are to promote thrift and provide low cost loans. The objective of the credit union is to help members manage their money through systematic savings and intelligent use of credit. Our philosophy has always been to go the extra mile for members.

Each member of the credit union is a part owner of this cooperative. Therefore, your credit union is always willing to help every member of the credit union achieve their financial goals. Over the past 31 years, we provided over $48 million dollars in loans to our members. Today we continue to provide cost effective financial services for all of our members and to continually develop new services in a rapidly changing financial environment.
